Mark - Now We Are Free- Chosen Song Research

I've just got a few images relating to my chosen song, which is 'Now We Are Free' . It's about the gladiator with great passion, emotion and bravery.

Through the film which the song soundtracks, the gladiator misses his murdered family and really wants to be reunited with them in heaven but first he'll have to fight.

The top image is very moving, the way he is lent down brushing the top of the fields its like he's bin away but has come back home. The color is also very bright but easy on the eye.

The other images show him imprisoned with other men and with the emperor, Caesar. That image is moving as you can see the pain and grief in the eyes of Russell Crowe. You can see he just wants to free.

The colosseum is the venue in the film and history where all the fights were staged many battles were held. This is the epic view of a place held in history and at the time the worst for many prisoners and slaves.

All these images are very moving and tell their own message, the song is by Hans Zimmer. The lyrics are sad and the music is very emotional, you can see that same emotion in the eyes of Crowe.

I will collect more images and evidence before designing my storyboards, i want to try and capture the sheer emotion and heartache in my finals to explain just how lost and heroic the gladiator is.
